And this is how I am supposed to be....?!

Ha!! and a double ha!!

That was my reaction after reading a short interpretation of how the planets were assembled in the heavens and their astrological influence on poor little me during the time of my birth. Uh-huh, the results of reading my birth chart seems to be almost true, or maybe its just wishful thinking.

Well, at least my guess for my ascendant (rising sign) and the sign for Mercury as ruling planet correct. 

And I did not have too many Taurus signs in many of the planets (it is not good for Aries and Taurus signs to mix almost evenly in an individual) so that is a relief. I probably am muttering gibberish to some peeps who think astrology is hogwash..but I actually find it quite fun. I don't bet all my money on it though as being the end all and be-all of my existence :-)

I have to re-evaluate also where the other signs are placed when it comes to my disposition for love, emotions and other such aspects of my personality so I am only sharing the results of the sun, ascendant and the signs for the planets of Mercury and Venus, said to rule the mind and heart respectively.

*mutters* and I was so sure I had Cancer or Libra when it came to the moon and Venus...rats!

Rising Sign is in 23 Degrees Gemini

Extremely active by nature, you like to get around, meet people and do different things. Very restless, you just can't seem to stay put. You need to be involved in several projects at once in order to keep your mind stimulated. You like to read books and to write letters and to talk -- constantly. Seemingly ageless, you will always appear to be much younger than you really are. Very adaptable and inquisitive, you are always open to new ideas and experiences. A "jack-of-all-trades", you are lively and versatile. Because of the high nervous tension that you always seem to have, athletic activity would be a good way for you to burn off energy. But be careful of a tendency to experience things only superficially -- try to dig in and absorb things at a deeper level.

Sun is in 08 Degrees Aries

By nature, you are very energetic and high-spirited. You are fiercely independent -- you must be first in everything you do, and you enjoy taking risks. You are the one who will rush in where angels fear to tread. Quite brilliant at initiating new projects, you are terrible at following them through to completion. You are an enthusiastic leader but you tend to be a reluctant follower. Often you are quick to anger, but you usually recover just as fast, regretting later things you said when you were upset. One of your best traits is that you are simple and direct, blunt and honest -- just be careful you do not hurt others' feelings. Your need to be competitive at all costs may provoke resistance from others, but, as long as you maintain your usual Sunny good humor, this should not prove to be a major problem for you.

Mercury is in 15 Degrees Aries.

Very quick-witted, you are known for being an independent thinker. You love to debate and argue, and are excellent at repartee and battles of wits. At times, however, you act too fast on hastily formed opinions and thus waste a lot of energy defending your rash and sometimes incorrect conclusions. It is perfectly acceptable for you to defend your beliefs with your usual vigor, but try not to take the opinions of others as personal insults.

Venus is in 24 Degrees Aries.

You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you tend to pursue him or her ardently and passionately. But you do demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your partner's needs and desires once in a while.
